My grandad and the Spanish civil war

In 1936 my grandad travelled to France He crossed the Pyrenees into Spain He wanted to fight dictator General Francisco Franco's fascists who were insane So with his right fist held up high Joining the international brigade, freedom was their war cry For he foreseen the uprising of the fascists in Germany Italy and Spain people at home thought that he was insane But he had morals that played on his mind time and time again He bravely fought in battle after battle But Franco's fascists had the use of German Nazi airpower From then on the international brigade were pushed back loosing power If any of the international brigade where captured they where exurcuted within a hour He came home a defeated man He still had a worrying concern regarding fascists taking over Europe if they can So in 1939 he joined the British army just like he would All his life he was a man with morals and would stand up for the common man He never stopped hating facsists For he was a proper mans man
